October 2014

The 5th LDBC TUC meeting will take place in Athens on 14.11.2014, this is the agenda. We welcome RDF and graph database users to explain their use-cases, describe the limitations they have found in current technology and see the progress of the LDBC benchmarks i.e. the Semantic Publishing Benchmark (SPB) and the Social Network Benchmark (SNB).

I have now completed the Virtuoso TPC-H work, including scale out. Optimization possibilities extend to infinity but the present level is good enough. TPC-H is the classic of all analytics benchmarks and is difficult enough, I have extensive commentary on this on my blog (In Hoc Signo Vinces series), including experimental results. This is, as it were, the cornerstone of the true science. This is however not the totality of it. From the LDBC angle, we might liken this to the last camp before attempting a mountain peak.
